Not ~/mail for $DEITY's sake. Make /var/spool/mail (only the directory)
1777. /var/spool/mail/joe_user should not be 1777 of course - leave them
alone ;)
The newer versions of mutt and pine are clued enough to bitch about it -
and the newer version of linuxconf (which I was ass enough to install) is
stupid enough to try undoing this whenever I reboot my box :(
